Almost half of all Americans are of German descent, IIRC. I know I am.
Same here. It got a little bitter with Germans calling captured Americans, particularly troops with German surnames—’scheiss amis’ (s*** friends).
Screw them. They always looked sharp in those snappy uniforms,
surrendering!
In the U.S., I recently read Britain has the highest preponderance of descendants in the U.S. Britain includes Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland. Sometimes people tend to only count descendants from England, and often mistakenly refer to all of Britain as England, which then skew the results and show most descendants come from German ancestry. Germany runs a close second. Many of my friends have German ancestry, a hard working bunch who share very similar traits with the Brits (not surprising since teutonic tribes flooded Scotland many years back).
